WP Super Snow (Falling Snow, Customizable)

Descripción

This is an awesome free Christmas snow falling plugin with jQuery and CSS3; very lightweight. You can add falling snow flakes to your website and customize these snow flakes using various configuration options in your WordPress Dashboard.

If you increase the number of snowlfakes — yes. WP Super Snow can eat up a lot of CPU, even on modern computers when there are a large number of elements being moved around the screen at once. The default configuration that comes with WP Super Snow may have notably lower CPU utilization as it doesn’t include a lot of extras, and the default number of snowflakes is reduced to improve speed. Consider lowering the speed; and also the amount of snowflakes to help reduce CPU use even further.

note: WP Super Snow will attempt to use GPU-based hardware acceleration to animate the snow. Having GPU acceleration can help in reducing CPU utilization. Most modern browsers will support this; WP Super Snow takes advantage whenever it’s possible (automatically).

note: If you take a look at Dashboard -› WP Super Snow -› Forecast / Conditions; you can enable WP Super Snow for mobile devices if you like. However, please be WARNED; WP Super Snow is known to reduce battery life on mobile devices. Also, on older cell phones this can cause problems for their processors. By default, WP Super Snow is not loaded for mobile devices (recommended behavior).

Are there any other requirements for this plugin to function properly?

This plugin requires jQuery (comes w/ WordPress). If you have WordPress, you already have jQuery. This plugin also requires PHP v5.3 (or higher); please check with your hosting company about this. See also: the list of supported browsers above.

Reseñas

I used this plugin during the winter, it is very interesting for its use: it allows to upload new images, and to change many parameters (number and speed of flakes). The result is really pretty.
In addition, with the conditional tags, you can choose on which type of content the flakes fall, eg on a specific page, or just on front-page.
It worked very well under WP 4.9. Please, keep this plugin in shape!
To help you, I will work on the French translation.

We love this plugin but we have had complaints that it is ironically freezing the website when turned on. So we have had to turn it off this year. As it hasn’t been updated in over a year I can only assume it has been abandoned and is not compatible with WordPress anymore.
